Re: jaime gold = spew
Right. It's only out of line if a player misrepresents his hand in order to induce his opponent to show a loser. If you say "I was bluffing," your opponent turns over AJ-high, and then you table the nuts, you're a jackass angle shooter and probably get your butt kicked right then and there. Jamie was not out of line by telling Doyle he was bluffing and then folding his hand.
That being said, I wish players would just table their damn hands when it's their turn to do so. In the highest stakes games, I can see why people don't want to give away information when they don't have to. The problem comes when people playing 1/2NL start emulating that behavior because the etiquette is different at lower stakes. 30-second HSP staredown showdowns suck when all you want is to get another hand of 1/2NL going.
